IR Internship Award

The International Relations Internship Award is a highly competitive award that is designed to help enable recipients to pursue an IR-related internship. Internships may be U.S. based or international. Select students will receive an award up to $2,000. Typically, semester awards will be less than summer awards. Applications for the IR Internship Award will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Please contact the IR Program for more information.

INTR 99 (IR Internship)

An IR Internship enables students to receive academic credit for professional work experience that relates to the student's Thematic Concentration. The IR Internship may serve only as an elective within the student's Thematic Concentration. Students who complete an IR Internship are still required to fulfill ALL of the requirements within their chosen Thematic Concertation. Completed applications must be submitted no later than one week prior to the last day for AS&E students to add classes for the current term. Internships, internship courses, or independent study courses taken during a study abroad program are not eligible for IR major credit. 

How to apply:

1. Complete the IR Internship Application.
2. Submit completed applications to the International Relations Program Office in the ground floor of Packard Hall or submit the materials electronically to InternationalRelations@tufts.edu with the subject heading "IR Internship Application."
3. Once the application has been received, the IR Program must certify that the internship is applicable to the student's Thematic Concentration. Once the IR Program has approved the internship, the student will be registered.
